Event information

Artist and Art historian guides us through the Rococco, often referred to as the high Baroque movement.

Ornamental, flamboyant and theatrical, it was the backdrop for the Palace of Versailles and the court of Louis XVI of France. An excessive style for an excessive time? Compared to the order and refinement of the Classical style, Rococo was seen as gaudy, illogical and wonderfully indulgent.
